A broken vinyl record was left out in the rain
Frayed by the crimson washing away
Springtime flickered far too late
Blinking so you'd wash away
Naïvely breathing in a daydream
A two-way mirror showed me forever
Growing flowers from diamond seeds
The clouds parted and showed me forever
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The mistress of the crows is long gone
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
Leaving me alone in honey-painted walls
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The snow weaved a blanket of monochrome
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The butterflies never returned home
An amethyst casket was hidden deep in the bay
Doves sought treasure and washed away
Summertime faded in your embrace
If I spoke, you'd burn away
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The cold murder of crows is long gone
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
A thousand years in honey-painted walls
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The snow dissolved into monochrome
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The butterflies had never been home
Violin strings wrapped around the earth
They fell to the sky and pierced the heavens
The wings of doves hide in midnight
They took to the sky and pierced the heavens
The crows were sleeping in the clouds
The lilies wilted, wanting to wait
The honey melted in my palm
The glass shattered, far too late
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
The stars of garnet lit the way home
Ma chérie, ma chérie, ma chérie
Without you, I found my way home
And that's how I know
You could have never been forever, after all

Would you have looked me in the eyes,
And whispered dreams of paradise?
In December I'd see my happy ending
I hide in your blanket every night
And write dreams where you'd been alright
Could you have been my happy ending?
Or was I only playing the fool again?
I wondered if when you kissed me
Your eyes were open shimmering with pity
I wondered if when I said "I love you"
You sipped on my venom and smiled through
Would you have emptied me out on the side of the road?
Like a worthless bottle of spoiled milk?
Would you have left me for dead on the side of the road?
If I lied for another year, would I have ever known?
Would you have thrown away your puppetry of love
As if I'd been a bottle of spoiled milk?
Would you have ever told me that I could never be enough?
Or did you throw it all away to keep me screaming in the dark?
I wrote another letter, hoping you would reply
And I poured myself another glass of spoiled milk
Would you have wanted the knife
To pierce deep through your spine?
Would you have wanted my smile
To spill more, more lies?
Would you have emptied me out on the side of the road?
Like a worthless bottle of spoiled milk?
Would you have left me for dead on the side of the road?
If I lied for another year, would I have ever known?
Would you have thrown away your puppetry of love
As if I had been a bottle of spoiled milk?
Would you have ever told me that I could never be enough?
Or did you throw it all away to keep me screaming in the dark?
Would it have been because it was the only way?
Would you have said "it's over" to my face?
Is it because you would have rather run away?
Or did the angels pry apart our hands knowing you couldn't stay?
Would you have wanted to tell me your goodbyes?
Would you have wanted me to have left you behind?
I wrote another letter, knowing you won't reply
And I poured myself another glass of spoiled milk

At 11PM, I fall open on the floor
And the owls listen in from behind my door
At 11PM, the silence filled the floor
And I heard it seeping through my bones
A pulse I'd never known before
Would you say that the world stops dead
When we forget to close our eyes?
Would you say that time still treads on,
Wrapping ribbons around my lie?
The shadows said to look and see
There's nothing left inside of me
The clouds of dust coated my teeth
I swallow it eternally
The stars told me that I was free
And whited out my empathy
I looked through all the pity
And I know it's still 11PM
At 11PM, there were whispers in the floor
Full of words that don't matter anymore
At 11PM, there was knocking on the door
And I knew I was never really home
It twisted throughout my bloodstream
Spreading nitrogen throughout my body
It sewed into my skin something
Only I could ever read
It scrambled my anatomy
And filtered out my memory
It cut away all of the strings
That gave me any sort of meaning
It filled the spaces with lilies
To try to hide it was empty
It bled into this entropy
This nullified catastrophe
It tore white feathers off of wings
But they were only fantasy
It lied to me, it lied to me,
Lied that I'd ever been breathing
Would you say that the world stops dead
When they forget to close their eyes?
Would you say that time still treads on,
Wrapping ribbons around their lie?
The shadows said to look and see
And wonder who it's meant to be
The clouds of dust coated their teeth
They swallow it eternally
The stars told them that they were free
And whited out their empathy
They looked through all the pity
And they know it's still 11PM
And if they see morning again
They'll know it's still 11PM

So lovely to be idiotic!
Once again, I never understand!
So lovely to be neurotic!
Once again, I'm full of dread!
So lovely, to be chaotic!
So lovely, to be your alien!
To live where my voice is wanted
Where the echoes are my friends!
And I'll shed another tear
And I'll hide another fear
And I'll wait another year
And I'll find another fear
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
It's always just too good to be true!
A broken lucky charm like me
No way I'm any good for you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
Oh, I knew I'd mess up this one too!
Give me one last look of pity
And I'll claw away one more part of me!
So lovely to be idiotic!
Once again, I never understand!
Oh, well, it's just so damn ironic
Never mind, you'd never comprehend
You normalities, don't you see you're one and the same?
You call me colorful, and then paint me into gray!
It's not my fault, you see, the skin's all broken up and red
I'd like to save myself, but there'd be nothing in my head!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
It's always just too good to be true!
A broken lucky charm like me
No way I'm any good for you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
Oh, I knew I'd mess up this one too!
Tear away what I could've seen
Forget I ever wanted you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
Maybe we're all afraid of the truth
A bleeding bad omen like me
Look away, before I curse you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
Maybe everything was made for you
Tell me this world's too good for me
And we'll claw away one more part of me!
Ah, don't think I could give out much more
Ah, don't think I'd ever really known
Ah, don't think this world was made for
Clingy paws and endless hysteria
A constant stream of echolalia
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
It's always just too good to be true!
A broken lucky charm like me
No way I'm any good for you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
Oh, I knew I'd mess up this one too!
Tear away what I could've seen
Forget I ever wanted you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
Don't you see I've done it all for you?
Blunted down my fangs to your teeth
Dulled my claws to gently grasp for you!
La-li-la-li-la-li-la-lia
I'll be born again, and mirror you
Brand my brain from abnormality
And we'll claw away one last part of me!
Would you love me then, I wonder?
Would you take me then, I wonder?

With every step you take, it all becomes so clear
The labyrinth can only lead to something you would dread
With every lie you breathe, there's a truth you couldn't hear
So keep quiet in the corner, and wait for the world to end
Is there really anything about
Everything you are,
Anything but hollow laughter
That's begging to be mocked?
No, no, no, you never could be worthy of their love
No, no, no, you made up your perfect little world
No, no, no, you never will be worthy of their love
No, no, no, you're self-absorbed, you're nothing but a joke
You take every flower still alive and
You draw smiles on their face
And every time you watch one die,
You bury it in blinded hate
With everything you taint, it all becomes so clear
The labyrinth can only lead to something you would dread
Everything you've ever done follows you to the end
Everyone you've ever hurt is waiting for your death
You're nothing, you're nothing, you never could be loved
Now the whole world knows you're broken and numb
You're worthless, you're selfish, you're so fucking pathetic
And it took you so long to realize what you've done
You're full of sin and you're full of shame
And you know no one else can take the blame
You know you can never look them in the face
A good-for-nothing coward with the perfect fate
No, no, no, the only ones who dare to give you love
Oh, no, no, no, the prison of your perfect little world
No, no, no, you'll take this poison-dripping love
In the balloon garden, you'll forget that you're a joke
In the balloon garden, you'll forget that you were loved

A single black rose was left over the casket
(Try to break free, it'll cling to your decay)
And the color was carried over the sunset
(Breathe it in again and watch your beauty suffocate)
So much adoration for such humiliation
(It hollowed out your bones and it put your love to waste)
How shameful it'd be to be your own damnation
(It's sickening to know that this is all I'd ever crave)
A nightmare called out to me
Said "please, I'm sorry, let us be"
I found my hands 'round her neck
And saw the glow of rotting envy
A nightmare called out to me
Said "but I love you, endlessly"
I found my hands 'round her neck
Killing the light of rotten envy
Maybe you'd rather drag me down
Keep me captive underground
But maybe you think it's okay
If I watch your aura wilt away
Maybe you'd rather I be found
Drinking in your every sound
And the path lines up anyway
You'll still be reaching for my face
I think I'd rather have blood on my hands
Than be another puppet to your dance
I can't say I miss you dearly
Or that you could've run from your own undoing
A ravenous angel followed the signs
So many words gleaming in her eyes
If only you knew heartbreak
Was such a soft pain
It didn't have to keep us bleeding
You didn't have to keep me pleading
Go on and tear the world to shreds
Go on and cry when you see red
Go ahead and play the fucking victim
Maybe you'd rather drag me down
Keep me captive underground
But maybe you think it's okay
If I watch your aura wilt away
Maybe you'd rather I be found
Drinking in your every sound
And the path lines up anyway
You'll still be reaching for my face
I think I'm glad I have blood on my hands
From your excuse of a tragic romance
I can't say I didn't want to watch you die
Or that I'd ever regret the tears in your eyes
From the start,
You had poisoned your own heart
I don't want to know why
You smiled as I took your life
I swore I'd catch you if you'd fallen
I'm yearning for what you'd forgotten
I bled out to you, pleading I'd be
Thriving through your twisted story
What would you call morality?
What would you call normality?
Could I let you take the fall for me?
It's all my fault I gave you mercy
Maybe you'd rather drag me down
Keep me captive underground
But maybe you think it's okay
If I watch your aura wilt away
Maybe you'd rather I be found
Drinking in your every sound
And the path lines up anyway
You'll still be reaching for my face
I think I'm glad I have blood on my hands
From your excuse of a tragic romance
I can't say I miss you dearly
Or that you could've run from your own undoing
You're the one who made the game
And you're the one who cast the die
So rot in peace, valentine,
Won't see you in the next life

In the daylight, in the daylight,
Their eyes are always watching
For blemishes and blights
Every evil in their sight
In the spotlight, in the spotlight
Their eyes are always watching
You think you're safe 'til night
But the clock's never been ticking
(Hey. Hey. You get it, don't you?
There's something in the air
And we're the only ones who care
Hey, hey, you're not worried, are you?
Why would you be scared
when the darkness disappears?)
It's 1PM, and we're just getting started
Don't worry 'bout our so-called dearly departed
It's 1PM, there's nothing to fear
There's nothing to see here, nothing to see here
It's 1PM, and the party's getting started
Don't worry 'bout the meaning of "dearly departed"
It's 1PM, and you're not going anywhere
Nothing to see here, no, nothing to see here
You tore white feathers off of wings
But they were only fantasy
You lied to me, you lied to me,
Lied that I'd ever been breathing
For the one who laughs bitterly
The sky breathes into your body
For the one who cries so sweetly
The stars bleed into your body
It's 1PM, and we're just getting started
Don't worry 'bout our so-called dearly departed
It's 1PM, there's nothing to fear
There's nothing to see here, nothing to see here
It's 1PM, and the party's getting started
Don't worry 'bout being my dearly departed
It's 1PM, and we're not going anywhere
Nothing to see here, no, nothing to see here
Maybe I'm a devil child
Choking God with seas of fury
Kill me now and purify it
Shatter me into your mercy
Don'tcha worry 'bout a thing, my darling
My blood runs with your life's beauty
Don'tcha worry 'bout a thing, my darling
Breathe into me love and mercy
It's 1PM, and we're just getting started
Don't worry 'bout our so-called dearly departed
It's 1PM, there's nothing to fear
There's nothing to see here, nothing to see here
It's 1PM, and the party's getting started
Don't worry 'bout being my dearly departed
It's 1PM, and I'm not going anywhere
Nothing to see here, no, nothing to see here
It's 1PM, we're gonna be fine
Oh, don'tcha worry 'bout a thing, my darling
It's 1PM, let's wipe another tear
I'll be right here, I'll always be here
It's 1PM, and you'll be alright
Oh, don'tcha worry 'bout a thing, my darling
It's 1PM, and I love you dearly
I'm already here, we'll always be here

Day by day, it's just the same
My body's not perfected
To keep it always changing
I've got to be dissected
Chop me up, quarter to nine
Grow out what I've digested
Serve myself at dinnertime
Devour my reflection
Flavored so disdainfully
Acids mutate it to beauty
Swallow it so painfully
It's all that can keep me happy
My stomach lining, through the night,
Painted over the bedroom mirror
A truly horrendous morning sight
To clean up with rusted cleavers
More, give me more, can't you see I'm starving?
Feed my fingers on a platter and top it off with bones
Again, try again, I won't stop until it's right!
Force it all down my dried-up throat, one by one and
More, give me more, can't you see I'm starving?
Give me that beautiful ironic sensation
Again, try again, 'cause I still can't get it right!
I'll feast on everything for my salvation
There's only so much of me
That I can bear to eat
My recycled limbs are getting blander
But I can't let this addiction waver
I can't think of anything--
My teeth are craving--
I have to satisfy my--
Come closer, I wanna try--
More, give me more, can't you see I'm starving?
Tear open a carcass and spoon it up with bones
Again, try again, I won't stop until it's right!
Vivid heartbeats down my bloody throat, one by one and
More, give me more, can't you see I'm starving?
Give me that beautiful sadistic sensation
Again, try again, 'cause I still can't get it right!
I'll feast on everything for my salvation
Gluttony?
Oh, now it's gluttony?
I can't taste your dying pleas
Over your deep hatred of me
You haven't seen
What I have to be
You all want to be pleased, but
There's no possibility
You don't seem
To understand
The beholder's eye is bleeding
And your people never cared
It's too late
I can't be saved
But if mine's in so much decay,
I'll gladly eat up your brain!
My stomach lining, through the night,
Painted over the bedroom mirror
A truly horrendous morning sight
To clean up with rusted cleavers
You want to call me insatiable?
You want to try to stop me?
You really think my lifeline's wasteful?
All I'll need is your body!
More, give me more, can't you see I'm starving?
Give me all your pieces and season them with pity
Again, try again, I won't stop until it's right!
I'll bite into your skull and feel your moral purity!
More, give me more, can't you see I'm starving?
Your veins under my skin are giving me such elation
Again, try again, 'cause I still can't get it right!
I'll feast on everything for my salvation
I'll feast on everything for my salvation
I'll feast on everyone for our salvation

They say reality hides in our dreams
Then somewhere I'd find that I'm the monster
And if I mended the cracks in my body
I'd bring life to my evil shadow
I've broken my porcelain, melted it to nothing
I wouldn't want you to feel that horror
Don't you fret now, I've found my peace
Pay no mind to the gleaming of the two way mirror
I awoke in early afternoon
From a dream, from déja vu
I feared that I'd be more like you
Something falling prey to your truth
I closed my eyes in early morning
Fleeing the sun as it was rising
If there were light, my catastrophe
Would come out of shadows and torment me
My memory
They say reality hides in our dreams
Then somewhere I'd find that I'm the monster
And if I mended the cracks in my body
I'd bring life to my evil shadow
I've broken my porcelain, melted it to nothing
I wouldn't want you to feel that horror
Don't you fret now, I've found my peace
Pay no mind to the gleaming of the two way mirror
If those nightmares caught me in their fear
I'd be the demon, I'd be the monster
There's no worry now that you're here
Pay no mind to the woman in the two way mirror
